Swap skills for success

Starting and succeeding in business can be a tough and lonely ride. But as many entrepreneurs are discovering, you don’t have to go it alone. Networking, swapping skills and collaborating are great ways to drive your business forward.

Swapping skills enables you to make the most of your expertise, and get support on the areas that you’re not so confident about.

Join us for an inspiring evening with small business specialists Zestworks who will share their story of working together and tips on how to build your business through co-operation.

You will learn about:

  • Knowing your goals and values
  • Finding the right people to work with
  • From swapping skills to hiring real and virtual staff
  • Avoiding costly mistakes
  • Tips on teaming up and pushing beyond your weight.



Ask questions of the Zestworks experts and put your newfound skills into practice by networking with a host of other entrepreneurs at a drinks reception after the event.
